You could definitely build your own app for such a purpose. When ever I start my browsers it comes up with my own web page that has a list of sites I tend to visit a lot...it is all ultra basic but I am sure it could be easily be enhanced to open up a group of pages. Here is a link to a JQuery method that would only require a few lines of code: http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.2/pages It can probably be done even simpler.

King's dream, I still think it's worth a moment's attention. First of all, to bring it to fruition, I need to learn something about how to write an add-in for FireFox and Google. Then I need to build it and release it for free to anyone who suffers the same problem as I. Here's the notion: groups of web pages, loaded automatically with a single click on the new "Groups" button. For example (and not that you need subscribe to my groups -- the whole point is that you create your own groups. But let's stick with mine, just as an example: Group 1: News nytimes.com torontostar.com theregister.co.uk Group 2: Coding accessD at databaseadvisors.com dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com alphasoftware.com Group 3: Literature nybooks.com wikipedia.com etc. The point is, I want to replace my bookmarks toolbar with these sets of pages, so that with one click I discard the current set and load a predefined set of pages all at once. And I don't think I'm the only person in the world to wish this were possible. What language do I achieve this in? Javascript? HTML 5? I don't know, so your advice would be helpful. -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
